Ingredients
Instructions
-
Toast the walnuts: Add the chopped walnuts to a saucepan over medium heat. Toast the walnuts for several minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and lightly toasted. Be careful not to burn them.
-
Build the syrup: Add the water, golden sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt to the pan with the toasted walnuts.
-
Bring to a simmer: Stir the mixture until the sugars begin to dissolve. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the syrup to simmer, stirring occasionally, so the walnuts and warm spices can infuse the liquid with their flavor.
-
Infuse: Continue simmering until the syrup becomes fragrant and the flavors have developed. Avoid boiling too aggressively.
-
Strain: Remove the syrup from the heat. Carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the walnuts and larger pieces of spices.
-
Cool: Allow the praline syrup to cool completely.
-
Store: Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle and refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Serve: Add the homemade praline syrup to coffee, espresso, lattes, cold brew, iced coffee, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or your favorite dessert.
